The Issues Of Modern Dtscord.

The New Orleans Picayune indulg-
es in the following rather pessimistic
view Of the present status OF society:
Man is essentially a combative an
imal. Despite the boasted influence of
civilization human nature seems no
nearer to a state of perpetual peace
than at any previous time in the his
tory Of the world. Not only are all
the principal nations of the world un-
der arms ready to plunge into war at
a moments notice, but society in de-
tail is in the throes of desperate con-
ficts or is divided into numerous
fiercely opposing factions. Instead
of heavenly harmony a demon ofdis-
cord seems to be abroad, exerting a
baneful influence upon every class of
society and condition of life. Issues
are now Joined where for ages there
were no questions Indifference. Con-
fiicts are now arising over matters
where formerly there was no room for
a dispute, and men are arrayed for bat
tie against those whose cooperation
and friendship were heretofore surely
counted on. Everywhere is conten-
ton or angry discussion.
Who are the opposing parties in
these conflicts, and what are the
questions at issue? AS to the issues,
they are the apparently indifferent
matters ofeveryday Network, play,
what men shall eat and what they
shall drink, when they shall labor
and when they may rest, and a thous-
and other things which apparent
ly are purely personal and of private
interest. Nevertheless factions are
formed, parties are organized, news
papers published, speeches made,
legislation invoked and all the pow
ers of money, organization, intellect
and government called into action to
enforce personal opinions upon mass
eS of men.
The combatants, the contenders,
the disputants and litigants in these
conflicts are labor and capital, en-
ployer and employe, producer and
consumer, buyer and seller, shipper
and carrier, the 'freethinker as to food
and beverages andthe prohibitionist,
the man who claims that Sunday is
Sunday and he who holds that Sunday
is the Sabbath in a word the disputes
over a thousand other like matters.
Simple as they may seem these appar-
emily trivial things have grown into
issues which are bursting the very
foundations of human society--and
yet men talk of universal peace and
millennial harmony.

THE DARKEST HOUR.

For a period of four years I've been a
victim of q very severe and agonizing case
of Salt Rheum, which affected my hands to
such an extent that they almost become a
burden.
Ny hand became raw and horrifying, com.
polling me to keep it covered all the time.
Tve spent hunrdeds of dollars for various
preparations, bnt instead of bene6ting my
condition, they all seemed to stimulate and
encourage the progress of the miserable dis
ease, until | had about given up all hope.
But thank heaven, " the darkest hour is
Just before day." and l am rejoiced to know
that a positive cure has been found, which
is known as B. B. B.-Botanic Blood Balm.
My family rejoice at its magical curative
powers in giving me relief. My hand has
been cured and resembles a burnt surface
after being heated over, more than any
thing else. 1t has also cured my two chill
dren of a loathesome form of Itch which
had resisted all previous treatments. re.

New Orleans Picayune: The waves

Life: Considering the price of fash

the word /" millionaire" is but a cor
ruption of milliner.
Lincoln Democrat The man who
moves down life's path and finds it
strewn with sweet surprises is he
who knows Just how it's done, who

gone. This brings Indiana to the

New York Star: 1t seems essential
that the Democratic plan of tax re-
duction should be formulated within
the next three weeks. The prelim-

complished before Thanksgiving, in
order that the administration bill
may be completed in detail by Treas

Philadelphia Record The rejoic-
ing in Virginia over the result of

and uprOarious than the victorious
demonstrations in other states. The
Israelites, when they found them

glad than have the people Of Virginia

nized it by a defect in the eye. This

THE following is a fair sample Of
the dirty, polluted, putrid trash with
which the Murfreesboro Free Press
feeds its readers: al
"The State prohibition convention
met in Nashville on Wednesday and
organized by electing Gen. Dibrell
president and appointing a committee
on resolutions. The convention then
adjourned until Thursday. The con-
vention is composed of a mixture, en-
bracing principally defeated politi-
clans, RAIDS, rebs and nigs, fanatical
preachers intermixed with Etheridge
infidels, and F. F. f. Southerners
cheek by jowl with the sw%eet-scented
social-equality Africans"
All the rottenness, corruption and
filth of the whisky saloon seems to
have concentrated around and cank-
cred the brain of'the Free Press edit.
or. Enraged, infuriated and mad.
dened by the ever onward march OF
the prohibition sentiment, he coils
back into his miserable den and spits
out such venom as the above week
after week through the columns Of
his foul sheet. There are no words in
the English language strong enough
to properly stigmatize the slime and
scum and purulent matter which has
%suppurated through the editorial
columns of the Free Press during the
last six months.

Flesh SIoughing off in Pieces.

For two years I have been confined to
bed with a loathesome form of Blood Poison,
which had about eaten me up, and and
others had no hope OF a recovery. For a
while / could neither walk, sit down nor lie
down, only in misery as my flesh seemed to
be falling off my bones in pieces as big as a
hen egg. My appetite was lost, my bones
ached and panied me, and friends even
stunned me-. | used various blood purifiers
without benefit, and several physicians
treated me until large sums of money had
been expended, but not one particle of
good did any one give me.

The First Lightning Rod.

Ii we are to believe an Austrian
paper, the first lightning rod was not
constructed by Franklin, but by a
monk of Seuftenberg. in Bohemia,
named Prohop Diwisch, who installed
an apparatus the 18th of June, 1854, in
the garden of the curate of Prenditz
(Moravia). The apparatus was COM
posed of pole surmounted by an iron
rod supporting twelve curved-up
branches, ana terminating in as many
metallic boxes, filled with iron ore and
closed by lockwood cover, traversed
by twenty-seven sharp iron points,
which plunged at their base in the ore.
AL! the system was united to the earth
by large chain. The enemies of
Diwisch, Jealous of his success at the
court of Vienna, excited the peasants
of the locality against him. and under
the pretext that his lightning rod was
the cause of the great drought, they
made him take down the lightning rod
which he had utilized for six years.
What is most curious is the form of this
first lightning rod, which was Of multi
pie points like the one which NJ Nielsen
afterward invented. Boston Bndoet.

Killed by Absinthe.

Absinthe Is used by nearly all modcr-
ate drinkers here as al appetizer be-
fore dinner, and its opaline tint in the
tumblers set before boulevardiers at the
"absinthe hour" is pleasant enough to
look upon; but its immoderate use is
productive of untold evil. as the chron-
icles of the hospitals can vouch for; and
its slaves are becoming more numerous
every day, particularly among the
poorer classes, who fly to it because it
is cheap and soon intoxicates. A man
known in the neighborhood of the mill
tary school as Pere Frederic, who was
once an operate 'primo-tenore" of re-
pute in the provinces, has just died
from the effects of the noxious decoc-
ton, thus adding one victim more to
the long list of persons called. buueurs

larynx by his favorite drink, but he
managed to exc out a miserable exist
ence by singing in third-class cafes-con-
certs. He was engaged lately in one Of
these places. but the proprietor of the
establishment became bankrupt and
paid off his tenor with "a bottle of abb
